Three million years ago, a radiation leak killed the crew of the mining ship, Red Dwarf. The only survivor was Dave Lister, the chicken soup machine repairman. He spends his time on the ship with a holographic projection of Arnold Rimmer (his dead bunkmate), Cat (a life-form that evolved from Dave's cat), Holly (the ship's senile computer), and Kryten (a service mechanoid). 　　译文(2): 三百万年前，一次辐射泄漏杀死了采矿船上的船员，红矮星。唯一的幸存者是大卫李斯特，鸡汤机修理工。他在船上的时间都花在一个全息投影上: Arnold Rimmer (他死去的室友) ，Cat (一种从 Dave 的猫进化而来的生命形式) ，Holly (船上的老电脑)和 Kryten (一个服务机器人)。
